What next for Windsor The Hour?

I'm going to throw some bullhorns on it, and I'm already looking for better pedals. My question is, what else should be changed? I like the bike as is, but realize that it could benefit from a few upgrades. Open to suggestions, as this is one of my winter project bikes.

Campy or Tektro?

Don't laugh. I have a set of Tektro R530s, which is Tektro's better brakes, and a set of Campy Xenons, which is their bottom of the range. Which is going to perform better? Just wondering if anyone has tried either or both.

How come when i say "nice bike" to a female FG rider, they think im hitting on them?

im just trying to say nice bike. are girls that conceited where they think every guy that says nice bike is trying to hit on them? this seems to hold true with FG girls...probably because they think they are the ****.
